The polls conducted and including <b>Tsipras party<\/b> and <b>Maria Karystianou<\/b>, put Nikos Androulakis in third or even fourth place, signaling developments for Charilaou Trikoupis. <\/p>\n<p>He will hardly be able to stand when his main rivals <b>(Dukas, Geroulanos, Diamantopoulou<\/b>) are waiting for him in the corner while the new blood (<b>Christodoulakis<\/b>) is eager to grab his chance. So it becomes clear that Nikos Androulakis&#8217; main opponent is not <b>Kyriakos Mitsotakis<\/b>, who is way ahead, but his bad self. <\/p>\n<p>Today he seems to be surviving as the only alternative cohesive party since the other parliamentary parties of the <b>Central Left<\/b> are heading towards their end. The second place in polls conducted is changing hands between Tsipras and Karystianos with the latter having announced a party, while the former prime minister remains, for the moment, in impression. <\/p>\n<p>PASOK is again limited to single digits and is competing with Zoe Konstantopoulou&#8217;s <b>Liberty Party<\/b>. Typically, in the GPO <b>poll<\/b>, PASOK registers <b>15.9%<\/b> in the <b>vote estimate, up from the past, but is defeated when Tsipras and Karystianou are put in the question: <b>the former scores 16.9% and the latter 17.5%.<\/b> And in the <b>Real Polls<\/b> poll the difference is noticeable. <b>PASOK is (result prediction) at 15.3% when Alexis Tsipras gets 19.7% of the positive vote and Maria Karystianou 21.1%. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The official announcement of the two parties, if they eventually go ahead as normal, will create a new situation that Nikos Androulakis will find it very difficult to cope with, potentially bringing him face to face with massive leaks that will further affect his polling findings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tension that Nikos Androulakis seems to be experiencing and channeling it against the government, seems to have other causes.
